Agathocles the Prince of Thales. This prince fell victim to the political intrigues of Arsinoe (2), the sister of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285-246 B.C.E.). The son of King Lysimachus, he was the superior heritor to the throne of Thrace, a neighborhood in the modern southeastern Balkans. Agathocles featured the political deep of Arsinoe. She married Lysimachus and bore him two children, seeing Agathocles as an obstruction to the throne. He became the objective of ridicule and rumors in the court of Thrace, whole fashioned to isolate him and to alienate him from his father. Arsinoe and her followings then impeached him of treason, requiring he was bent on slaying Lysimachus and making the throne. Lysimachus considered the charge and late Agathocles. Arsinoe did not do good from the death, however. When Lysimachus died, she presented her own melancholy consequences seeing her sons stopped from hereditary and having to flee to her half brother. The governor of Pergamum (modern Bergama in Turkey), so fearful by the unjust discussion of the Thracian prince, started a campaign of military payback against Lysimachus. Thrace fell to the Seleucids of Syria as a effect.
